To: Mary Fallin, Governor
Don't outlaw abortion
Veto the legislation passed by the Oklahoma Legislature that would criminalize abortion in your state.
Why is this important?
The Oklahoma Legislature just passed a bill that would make a doctor who performs an abortion guilty of a felony and subject to a prison sentence of up to three years.
The legislation would prevent any physician who performs abortions from securing or renewing a license to practice medicine in the state.
The bill would undermine the right to abortion in Oklahoma and punish women's health care providers.
It's on its way to Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin, who has a reputation for being an anti-abortion Republican. But the governor, who's also acknowledged to be a potential running mate for the presumed GOP nominee for president, Donald Trump, has not yet said publicly if she will sign the bill into law.
This is the first such bill in the nation. We absolutely cannot allow it to become law.
That's why we need to reach Gov. Fallin immediately with a clear call for her to veto this reckless and dangerous bill.
